Not funny

Beep beep! 09:00hrs: Very surprised at the facetious tone of your editorial (13 May). "Yu shudnt drnk, luv NHS Grampian." More appropriate from a tabloid newspaper.

Beep beep! 09:03hrs: Disappointment deepens at your trivialisation of very important issue. Decide to write a letter for publication.

Beep beep! 13:00hrs: Draft letter during lunch explaining that tackling alcohol misuse among young people is one of the greatest health and social challenges facing this country.

It behoves us to try every method of communication at our disposal to reach this group.

Beep beep! 15:00hrs: Dispatch letter by e-mail letter, more in disappointment than anger.
